Drupal 7 EOL: Security Risks and Migration Plans
A recent blog post by Sonal Bendle, published on Promet Source highlights the pressing decisions faced by public sector institutions as the end-of-life date for Drupal 7 nears on January 5, 2025. The post emphasizes that while migrating to Drupal 10 offers numerous benefits, such as enhanced security, better content management, and improved performance, many organizations may not be able to migrate immediately.
The blog post outlines the risks of continuing to use Drupal 7 after its official support ends, including the lack of security updates, compliance issues with regulations like FERPA, and potential vulnerabilities in system integrations. Bendle also discusses the temporary security measures that organizations can implement, such as firewall protection and server monitoring, and notes the availability of extended support from vendors like Pantheon and Tag1 Consulting. The blog post warns that delaying migration could result in increased technical debt, higher costs, and greater operational risks.
